PhoneArena Awards 2012: Best Product Design

0.phoneArena06 Dec 2012, 13:44posted on

When checking out a new gadget, one of the first things that creates an impression in a consumer's mind is the way the device looks and the way it feels when it is being used. In other words, a product's design is a pretty big deal, and companies that make phones and tablets are well aware of that fact. That is why the next category in the PhoneArena Awards of 2012 is for the best product design...

Samsung comes out with great products year and year out - starting with the Captivate - that was a nice looking phone with an almost unbreakable screen and I loved the back and how the battery was held in there.

the Captivate was certainly an exception. it was a nice phone that AT&T was lucky to have. Samsung can surprise you sometimes but typically i put them near the bottom of the list when it comes to design and quality.

If i could choose a device from 2011, i would choose my current phone, the samsung galaxy ace. now, this phone is pure plastic but, the use is very good, the chrome border is great, front face is perfectly balanced, and this phone is one of the most resistant i have ever had, even more resistant than some feature phones. but i have to agree for the surface and infinity and the lumia, just dont like apple design or htc design (minus droid dna).

trade the HTC bland OneS for the Nexus4 and I can live with the list. the hint of hologram on the back of the nexus sets it apart from all other phones, even with its buttonless slick black appearance.

i'm ex user of Galaxy S2 and now using Note 10.1. I wont say it's bad product since i am happy with these 2, but when it come to aesthetic design it looks ugly (sorry for my harsh comment), i mean Galaxy Note 10.1 even worse for pretty expensive product it's use plastic. I'm not complain (since i'm using case to cover my GNote), It's a request i hope samsung really care about it so they will compete in this category as well.

well, the fact is that samsung is good on internals but designing a real product of their own. they suck!!

thats why even i really thinks samsung copy's the design of the iPhone..coz people actually think that a galaxy phone (specially s2) looks like a different kind of iPhone...but still iPhone! they dont know that its samsung!

hahaha if people miss understand Galaxy phone with an iPhone, than it's their own fault for not looking carefully there is samsung brand not an apple icon. In my country Indonesia, there is so much iPhone replica which 100% looks same with an iPhone it even has apple logo.

I admitted iPhone 5 design looks good, even it's pretty much same with the previous generation (why would people mind about something that already good, i mean Nokia lumia 920, lumia 800 & N9 are alike but people does't mind). But the reason why people buy a galaxy phone it's not because it has same looks with an iPhone.
